Another Marine Corps Recruiting Spec Ad

Duty, Honor, Country, Pride. These are certainly noble and good reasons to sign up, but I'm of the opinion that the Armed Services could switch it up a little, maybe incorporate some taunting in their recruiting efforts. I think what inspired this spec ad was seeing yet another weasely weasel-boy wearing some shirt proclaiming his allegiance to one side or the other in the rehashed, retreaded and retarded pirate/ninja debate.

New Angle for the Military

You've seen Kim and her muffin-top. You've seen the super-abbed dudes in the sidebar of websites, the abs of which you will never have in your lifetime even if you devoted the next ten years to doing nothing but sit-ups all day long. Everyone wants to be fit and look good at the beach. Diet and exercise are huge business and always will be. But those programs cost money.

It's a tough time to be a military recruiter, what with the whole risk of losing a limb or your life now more real than ever, so maybe the Armed Services need to jump on this, with the added pitch that they will pay you to get in shape. Sample banner below.
